A TRUMP VICTORY ON THE BORDER

National Review editor Rich Lowry, who also is syndicated by Newsmax, recently praised the positive effect that President Donald Trump has had “south of the border.”

Lowry noted how in the first few months of this year, illegal border crossings have dropped precipitously. He noted that Trump’s “tough rhetoric alone would be enough to make would-be migrants think twice about coming across the border.” Lowry also observed how the Trump administration has tightened up on enforcement, with increases in both the number of immigration arrests and detainer requests.

Lowry concludes that “what Trump has done so far on immigration is hardly radical and basically represents a return to the pre-Barack Obama status quo, when the federal government didn’t openly flout its own laws. For now, it has gotten results.”
